Series Card Chain Swap – following Mandy’s card

Welcome to the second blog hop in our fourth series for our Card Swap Chain.

A group of Australian Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators formed a group to create cards and swap them in a process like a chain letter. The first card in each sequence is an original idea. For this blog hop, it was Mandy’s turn to create a card and post it to the next in the list. Then that person CASEd (Copy And Selectively Edit) it and mailed her card to the next person on the list. This person then CASEd her card … and so on!

This has been a lot of fun and a great challenge for me to CASE the cards I was sent.

I was the seventh person in this chain, so it may look a little different from the original card by Mandy. To follow the card through, it is best to start with Mandy’s card – the first in the links below – then follow through the links in order to see the progression.

I used paper from the Floral Charm DSP pack, on Secret Sea cardstock mats, on a Timid Tiger cardstock base. The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set, (such a versatile set), stamped in Secret Sea. A die from the Everyday Arches set was used to cut the Basic White mats.   The flower image is from the Charming Day bundle, coloured with Peach Pie, Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow Blends. I also die cut some leaves from Old Olive and Mossy Meadow cardstock to place behind the stamped image.

And here is what the inside looks like.

Of course I had to add some bling, in the form of three Rhinestone Basic Jewels, to the front of the card. Here’s a closeup!

Now, if you didn’t start with Mandy’s card, please go click on the first link below, otherwise, continue on to the link after mine to see the card’s progression.
